5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Billy Budd?, 12 Mar 2004
By Green Glass Goblin "Green Glass" (warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I was fortunate enough to see the original stage version of this on its first performance with Thomas Allen in the title role. Wonderful powerful performance from all concerned and especially Richard Van Allen as John Claggart who gave the roll a menace and embodiment of twisted evil, together with an underlying vulnerability, that I have never seen equalled in subsequent interpretations. The quality of the video may suffer from poor sound and dim lighting ( to add atmosphere?) But very well worth the investment and not yet equalled as a perfomance.
